Livingston is a hard-working town with a steadily-growing population and a great place to establish and grow a business. With a population just over 7,000 residents, this small community appreciates the quiet pace and close proximity to the Yellowstone River and Yellowstone National Park and the recreation it offers. Although their history is rooted in the mining and railroad industries, today Livingston’s entrepreneurial spirit is thriving and there is a growing demand for custom technology.

Our president, Josh Reynolds has been busy building his commitment to the community that has been so supportive in the 17 years he and his wife Nikki have been residents. In addition to joining the Livingston Chamber of Commerce and being selected to serve on their members board, he has also a recent graduate of Leadership 49, a Park County leadership development program. We’re excited to be involved in the community and encourage you to check out your local networking programs such as Network Live and many more that allow you to give back and network with likeminded business professionals.

The Livingston Chamber of Commerce has been serving the community since 1909, connecting businesses with visitors, residents and newcomers to encourage a thriving economy and positive growth. With over 350 members, the Chamber’s efforts have been successful in serving local residents as well as the 2 million tourists who travel through the country annually. We are proud to be able to contribute our time to such a great organization and are looking forward to the opportunities and people it will allow us to meet along the way.

“I’m excited to be participating in the community I’ve been living in for so long. Through my work with the Chamber, my hope is to meet new Livingston business owners and active community members and help them use technology to grow their business,” says Josh, commenting on the growth and marketing benefits getting online would provide the Montana town.

Josh is also a graduate of Leadership 49, a skills and network development program for Park County residents. A leadership Montana Alumni, he attended a Leadership Montana event in downtown Livingston where he met Katie Weaver of Park County extension who runs Leadership 49. The program has been a great way to continue self-improvement and get more more involved at the same time.

“Leadership 49 has been inspirational and educational, and I’ve grown close to my many classmates and the program coordinators. It also reinforced a desire to participate more,” says Josh of the Leadership 49 Program. “This all came back to a desire to better participate in the community in which I live.”

We believe that everyone should benefit from the opportunity that technology has to offer, and particularly the small businesses and entrepreneurs residing in Livingston and the Paradise Valley. Josh is committed to participating in local business groups like Leadership 49 and the Chamber of commerce and hopes to provide the opportunity to reach more customers by getting online with a website and trusted, local guide.
